IS 15239:2002 Indian Standard FENOXAPROP-p-ETHYL EMULSIFIABLE CONCENTRATE-- SPECIFICATION ICS 65.100.20 @ BIS 2002 BUREAU MANAK OF BHAVAN, INDIAN STANDARDS ZAFAR MARG 9 BAHADUR SHAH NEW DELHI 110002 October 2002 Price Group 1 Pesticides Sectional Committee, FAD 1 FOREWORD This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Pesticides Sectional Committee had been approved by the Food and Agriculture Division Council. Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl emulsifiable concentrate (EC) is generally used as a selective herbicide in agriculture. Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl emulsifiable concentrate (EC) is generaIly manufactured to contain 10 percent wdm of Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl. In the preparation of this standard due consideration has been given to the provisions of Insecticides Act, 1968 and the rules framed thereunder. However this standard is subjected to restrictions imposed under the Act and rules wherever applicable. For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2:1960 `Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)'. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
